Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tee valves, and more specifically, to a tee valve for oil pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum, one of the main targets of geological exploration, is a viscous, dark brown liquid known as the "blood of industry." Petroleum is stored in some areas of the upper crust. Its main components are a mixture of various alkanes, cycloalkanes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Pipelines are needed for the transportation of petroleum, and the more complex pipeline connections require the use of three-way valves.

[0003] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN210687083U discloses a new type of three-way valve for oil pipelines. Its structure includes a valve body, a discharge port, a feed port, a handwheel, a valve stem, a valve core, and a reinforcing mechanism. By setting the reinforcing mechanism at the bottom of the valve body, the sliding rod and sleeve are rotated by rotating the rotating rod, and then the sleeve is pulled to the appropriate length. Then, the positioning bolt is rotated into the corresponding positioning screw hole for fixation. The base plate and the sleeve are fixed by the mounting screw hole on the base plate. This achieves the beneficial effect of further reinforcing the three-way valve and preventing the valve from deviating due to long-term impact from oil, which would affect oil transportation.

[0004] In the above-disclosed structure, the valve stem and handwheel are directly connected through the valve body to achieve a three-way connection. However, the combined installation structure lacks the positioning groove and positioning hole for the fixing strip, which cannot be connected to different positions and structures as needed, resulting in poor adaptability. Furthermore, the three-way connection position lacks a buffer structure, which can easily cause direct impact on the bottom, affecting the diversion efficiency and reducing the safety of the bottom. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-way valve for oil pipelines. By installing a vertical pipe and a side pipe through the middle pipe, a three-way structure can be formed. Furthermore, the internal fixing strip is equipped with an open positioning groove and a circular positioning hole, which can be snapped onto and installed with a positioning valve core. This facilitates high adaptability to different angles and positions. In addition, a buffer groove is set to install a flow diverting ball head, which can protect the bottom position, improve the flow diversion effect, reduce direct impact force, ensure safety and stability, and facilitate combined use.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

They are connected to the docking platform through the side tube and are provided with a second threaded hole and a second sealing groove, which can be installed with the pipeline, which is conducive to sealing and protection and convenient and stable.

[0011] Furthermore, the buffer groove is provided with a fixed threaded hole inside, and a threaded head is installed inside the fixed threaded hole. One end of the threaded head is fixedly connected to a flow divider ball head.

[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected to one side surface of the diverter ball head, and the support plate is inserted into one end of the inclined hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer circular surface of the support plate is provided with an inclined surface, which is in contact with the inner wall side of the buffer groove. The diversion ball head and the support plate are installed inside the buffer groove and can be fixed by thread. The combined positioning of the flow basin is used for diversion protection, which is safe, efficient and highly adaptable.

A first threaded hole 14 is provided at the end of the vertical pipe 11, allowing a sealing ring to be installed inside the first sealing groove 12. A threaded bolt is then installed through the first threaded hole 14 to connect to the oil pipeline. The sealing ring can be tightened for sealing, ensuring the stability of the three-way connection and facilitating installation and use. The first threaded hole 14 is located outside the first sealing groove 12, and inside the cavity 13... The part is provided with an inclined hole 15, and the two sides of the inclined hole 15 are connected to one end of the side tube 17. The bottom of the inclined hole 15 is provided with a buffer groove 16. The inner side of the first sealing groove 12 is fixedly connected with a fixing strip 2. The surface of the fixing strip 2 is provided with an open positioning groove 21 and a circular positioning hole 22.
